Silly, but Fun

Rating: 2/10 (20 July 2006)

Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor star in this ridiculous action flick about clones who don't know they are clones. The premise is interesting, but there is so much product placement (Puma, Calvin Klein, Sony, you name it, it's advertised in this film)-it's distracting and annoying. When Scarlett Johansson sees herself on a billboard advertising perfume, it is laughable.
Spoiler When they find out they are clones and break out of their created environment (even this is confusing and silly)-the movie jumps the shark by turning into one long chase sequence, filled with plenty of things exploding and having them running for their lives (???? as they are created clones and not humans) over and over.
These two actors are woefully miscast in this film, and their performances are uninspired. But the worst performance in this film belongs to Sean Bean (normally excellent as a villain) who plays a ridiculously maniacal "mad scientist." All in all, the movie is awful and should only be watched on an On-Demand channel, since one will feel they wasted their $3.99 at Blockbuster by renting this stinker.
